The steamship docks are in better con-

freight offered, but the amount so offered
is said TO be remarkably light as COM

Both sides seem as stubbon as ever and
there seems TO be no prospect for an end
of the strike.

BROOKLYN IN BAD SHAPE.
In Brooklyn much suffering exists
from lack of coal. Dealers cannot get
men to work except in few cases. Gro
GERS sell coal for SOC per bushel. Chari-
liable organizations cannot get coal. In
the city hall the elevator cannot be used

to-day guarded by police.
The doctors at the Long Island College
Hospital TODAY carted in person twelve
tons of coal to that institution. Inc
strikers overturned one cart in Brooklyn
ye@day. but were chased away by police.
Tie strikers themselves have no coal,
and Because OF their idleness they are
earning no money to buy coal.

A commotion in front of the office OF r.

Montgomery street, showed that some
thing unusual was going on there. The
little groups scattered anc ran to that
point. There they witnessed a singular
scene. The bankrupt broker stood with
his back against zinc, upon which his
name and late occupation are inscribed.
An angry mob had closed in upon him.
They were his creditors. HoOker's tell

his pursuers, who now held him at bay.
1t was for him a critical moment. A few
minutes before he had been waylaid
by one of his most lmpOrtunate cred
itors, who demanded his stocks or
money.
Hooker had arrived within two steps of
his office when the angry creditor seized
him by the arm. Hooker shook him off
in an instant saying:

trouble, fell back little, and then closed
in again. The man with homicidal pro-
pensities met Hooker's eyes with look
of amazement. The mob glanced at
Hooker sullenly.

Hooker. The man shrank back. He was
fairly cowed. He took his hand away from
